Bug#462734: /etc/cron.daily/apt fails on failed apt-get check



I know I can do that, but why not fix it in the package then?

    /etc/cron.daily/apt reads:

       # check if we can lock the cache and if the cache is clean
       if ! apt-get check -q -q 2>/dev/null; then
           exit 1
       fi

    This causes me to receive email from cron sometimes just because
    apt-get happens to be running (updating, etc.), which is annoying.

    I think it would be better for /etc/cron.daily/apt to exit with status
    0, since it's only performing non-critical maintenance tasks anyway.
